Oasis Management创始人塞斯·费舍尔表示，其激进基金已增持日本电产股份，成为该公司最大股东，并为此增强了其呼吁陷入困境的日本电机制造商考虑私有化的力度。
Oasis Management founder Seth Fischer said his activist fund has increased its stake in Nidec to become the largest shareholder, adding heft to its calls for the troubled Japanese motor maker to consider going private.
此举意味着Oasis持有的股份比例将超过日本电产创始人永森信宣的持股比例，后者因过去会计问题被曝光而陷入丑闻，今年早些时候辞去名誉董事长职务。
The move would mean Oasis holds a bigger stake than Nidec’s founder, Shigenobu Nagamori, who resigned as chairman emeritus earlier this year after revelations about past accounting issues plunged the firm into scandal.
据彭博社整理的数据显示，永森信宣直接持有日本电产8.3%的股份。“我们考虑增加持股比例。
我们认为该业务具有巨大价值，”费舍尔周三在东京接受采访时表示。
Nagamori directly holds 8.3% of Nidec’s shares, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.“We’d consider taking a larger stake. We believe the business is incredibly valuable,” Fischer said in an interview in Tokyo on Wednesday.
尽管丑闻仍在发酵，但日本电产的基本面业务和现金流依然强劲，公司应在继续整理账目的同时，开始寻求私有化要约，他补充道。
Nidec’s underlying business and cash flow remain strong despite the scandal, and the company should begin seeking privatization bids while continuing to get its books in order, he said.
彭博社整理的数据显示，Oasis截至9月9日持有日本电产7.97%的股份。
Oasis held 7.97% of Nidec’s shares as of Sept. 9, Bloomberg-compiled data shows.
